Hello,

 

I was trying to solve a linear programming problem with SAS and R but got different results.

 

Linear Programming Problem with SAS

proc optmodel;
var x {1..3} >=0;
max z =11*x[1]+16*x[2]+15*x[3];
con c1: x[1]+2*x[2]+1.5*x[3] <=12000;
con c2: 0.66*x[1]+0.66*x[2]+x[3] <= 4600;
con c3: 0.5*x[1]+0.3333*x[2]+0.5*x[3] <=2400;
solve with lp;print x[1] x[2] x[3];
quit;

 

SAS output: Objective Value=100311.708 x1=490.31 x2=5044.7 x3=946.93

 

 

With R

> library(lpSolve)

> obj=c(11,16,15)
> con=matrix(c(1,2,3/2,2/3,2/3,1,1/2,1/3,1/2),nrow=3,byrow=TRUE)
> dir=c("<=","<=","<=")
> rhs=c(12000,4600,2400)
> lp("max",obj,con,dir,rhs)
Success: the objective function is 100200
> lp("max",obj,con,dir,rhs)$solution
[1] 600 5100 800

 

Please help me with this.

R is right. Maybe you should use 1/3 to replace 0.333 , maybe that is reason.

I runned it again by GA . I am astonishing that I can't use CALL LPSOLVE() . it said out of memory. 

That is really weird.

 

 

proc iml;
start func(x) global(coef,b);
if any(coef*x`>b) then v=0;
 else v=11#x[1]+16#x[2]+15#x[3];
 return (v);
finish;

coef = {3   6   4.5,  
        2   2   3,
        1.5 1   1.5}/3;
b = { 12000,4600,2400 };


id=gasetup(1,3,123456789);
call gasetobj(id,1,"func");
call gasetsel(id,100,1,0.95);
call gasetcro(id,0.05,4);
call gasetmut(id,0.05);

call gainit(id,10000,{0 0 0,10000 10000 10000});
niter = 10000;
do i = 1 to niter;
 call garegen(id);
 call gagetval(value, id);
end;
call gagetmem(mem, value, id, 1);
print mem[ l="best member:"],
      "Max Value: " value[l = ""] ;
call gaend(id);
quit;

I got the same answer by chaning 0.33 to 1/3.

 

Thank you.

And also change 0.66 to 2/3.

Can you please post the IML code for which LPSOLVE yielded out of memory?

Rob,
Here is :


proc iml;

object = { 11 16 15 };
coef = {3   6   4.5,  
        2   2   3,
        1.5 1   1.5}/3;
b = { 12000,4600,2400 };

rowsense = {'L','L','L'};
cntl= {-1,1};
call lpsolve (rc,objv,x,dual,rd,object,coef,b,cntl,rowsense);
print objv, x, dual, rd,rc;

quit;




NOTICE: in output , RC=5 , which means lpsolve() can't get enough memory.

Hmm, that is strange.  Here's what I get with SAS/IML 14.1 on my Windows laptop:

Here is right code :


proc optmodel;
var x {1..3} >=0;
max z =11*x[1]+16*x[2]+15*x[3];
con c1: x[1]+2*x[2]+1.5*x[3] <=12000;
con c2: 2/3*x[1]+2/3*x[2]+x[3] <= 4600;
con c3: 0.5*x[1]+1/3*x[2]+0.5*x[3] <=2400;
solve with lp;print x[1] x[2] x[3];
quit;
